Croix de Marbre, Monumental cross near Promenade des Anglais, Nice, France
The marble structure features four original columns supporting a polished tiled roof that shelters a white Carrara marble crucifix at its center point.
The cross marks the location of the 1538 Peace Treaty of Nice negotiations between King Francis I of France and Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire.
This monument represents the diplomatic relations between France and the Holy Roman Empire during the 16th century religious conflicts in Europe.
The Croix de Marbre stands at Place de la Croix de Marbre, 100 meters from the Promenade des Anglais in central Nice.
The structure underwent multiple reconstructions since 1538, with only the four original columns remaining, reinforced by lead welding in 1782.
